Produktfunktion
Part Risk Manager opens each manufacturer's full product catalog, so you read portfolio depth as a continuity signal and find same-source alternatives before a discontinuation forces your hand.
Überblick
Manufacturers quietly de-prioritize commodities they no longer want to invest in, and the first sign is often a discontinuation notice on a part you depend on. The Product Portfolio view in Part Risk Manager shows what each of the 1M+ suppliers in the Z2 database actually sells: top product lines, the technological families inside them, and the parts within each family. That depth tells you whether a supplier is committed to a commodity long term, or whether you should start diversifying now.
Part Risk Manager breaks every portfolio into three drill-down levels. The top level shows the product lines a supplier actively sells, so you see where it concentrates engineering and roadmap investment. From there you open each technological family, then the individual parts within it. This turns a flat list of part numbers into a map of how a supplier organizes its business, the context procurement engineers need when evaluating a source for a critical commodity.
Part status tells you whether one component is active or obsolete. Portfolio depth tells you something more strategic: how committed a manufacturer is to the commodity at all. A supplier with a deep catalog across a product line is far more likely to keep producing, refreshing, and supporting it than one with a thin footprint it treats as a side business. Part Risk Manager surfaces that breadth so you weight long-term staying power into sourcing decisions, not just the status of the part in front of you.
When a part faces end-of-life, the fastest qualified replacement is often another part from the same manufacturer, in the same family, built to the same process and spec. Browsing a supplier's portfolio in Part Risk Manager surfaces those cross-reference candidates directly, so engineers move from at-risk part to a close same-source alternative without restarting qualification, keeping continuity intact and shortening the path from alert to resolution.
Diversification only works when you understand the catalogs behind your sources. The Product Portfolio view shows where two suppliers genuinely overlap and where they do not, so you build a second-source strategy on real catalog data, not assumptions. Part Risk Manager spreads your exposure across manufacturers demonstrably invested in the commodities your BOM depends on.

Häufige Fragen
Lifecycle status answers whether one part is active, NRND, or obsolete. The Product Portfolio view zooms out to the manufacturer's whole catalog: product lines, families, and the parts inside them. That breadth tells you how committed a supplier is to a commodity long term, a more strategic question than the status of a single component.
Yes. When a part faces end-of-life, open the manufacturer's portfolio in Part Risk Manager and look within the same family for a close same-source alternative. Parts from the same manufacturer and process are often fastest to qualify, shortening the path from alert to a continuity decision.
Product Portfolio draws on the 1M+ suppliers tracked in the Z2 database, so the manufacturers across your BOM are covered. Reach each company's portfolio from its supplier page in Part Risk Manager and drill from product lines to individual parts.
